Abstract
The reaction between an unfunctionalized conjugated diene and a nitroarene under CO pressure and at 100 degrees C, catalyzed by [Pd(Phen)2][BF4]2 (Phen = 1,10-phenanthroline), affords the corresponding hetero-Diels-Alder adduct (oxazine) in up to 91% yields in one pot. If the reaction mixture is then heated to 200 degrees C, the oxazines are converted into the corresponding N-arylpyrroles in good yields. Pressures as low as 5 bar can be employed, and 0.08% catalyst is sufficient to effect the transformation. The reaction can be equally run by employing the nitroarene or the diene as limiting agent and works well for nitroarenes bearing either electron-withdrawing or mildly electron-donating substituents. A moderate steric hindrance on the nitroarene (o-methyl) is well tolerated, but 1,4-disubstituted-1,3-dienes are not suitable substrates.Keywords
